Total sulfated GAG content and chondroitin sulfate expression are not significantly different in CLN2 knockout versus normal brain tissue. (a) GAG extracts from either whole brain or brain vasculature were prepared from CLN2 knockout and control heterozygote mice and GAG concentrations were measured using Farndale reagent. As an assay positive control, KO tissue was spiked with 50 μg/ml chondroitin sulfate C before processing (Spiked KO Brain). N = 3 for all conditions except the Spiked KO (N = 1); error bars are mean ± SEM. *P value ≤0.05. (b) Tissue sections from forebrain of age-matched CLN2 knockout and control heterozygote mouse brain immunostained for chondroitin sulfate. Scale bar is 250 μm.
